It arrived. Collector’s edition, Limited. Currently reading the Clay Steward files with soundtrack playing in the background, one for the car me thinks. 5o pages in and the story’s got me, although, it’s hard to keep concentrating with the game disc and bonus disc waiting in the box. Still, having already waited years for the game, an hour or so of atmospheric tunes and background story aren’t much of a further hardship.   Gotta love that artwork, some of the manuscript pages look a little slapdash but the overall aesthetic appeal of the package and contents are pleasing enough. 

They finally arrived. Euros 170 retail, but Monty acquired them for less. 7.1 surround sound (okay, okay I know that the 360 only does 5.1) but they’re the dog’s testes, the nuts, the business... ad infinitum.

I've been playing Battlefield: Bad Company for the past week or so as it has been a game that i really wanted to try last year but missed the boat. Unfortunately, the single player campaign is extremely disappointing.

I can not get used to the controls and specifically the aiming part. It reminds me of the problems i have with FPS games on the PS3 where due to the sensitivity of the analog stick i find myself constantly making minor changes to aim properly. Bungie, Infinity Ward and so many others have shown us that this is not longer an issue on 360 FPS games.
